/usr/sbin/mount is missing, how to install this

[senthil_kumar_2]

Hi All,

/usr/sbin/mount is missing on HP-UX 11i v3.

Can i copy that from another running HP-UX 11i v3, will it work?

or how to install /usr/sbin/mount ?

Hi:

Why do you believe that this is missing? At least in 11.23, '/usr/sbin/mount' is a symbolic link to '/sbin/mount'. Do you have '/usr/sbin/' in your PATH?

If you removed '/sbin/mount' then you could copy the same from another 11.31 server. If you removed the symbolic link, recreate it.

Regards!

Shalom,

You can copy it from another system.

Whether it works or not depends on what else is missing.

you can copy it from any other 11iv3 system. It will definitely work . I tried it so many times.


Good Luck

When doing this be sure to copy executables from a system with the same patch level ( or equivalent) else the result could be unexpected

There is no problem with mount on 11.31,

Hi,

Try to search the mount using "find" command.
It will show you the mount somwwhere in your system if not someone played aroung by removing the same. Copy the same to /usr/bin/ if you get and try by mounting.

Hi All,

The file "mount" is available with in "/usr/sbin".

But this is not included with the PATH.

Now i have included the PATH, and it is working fine.
